Newsom Monday said the program will return for nine dates and with longer hours (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.). He also said to expect the party to become a permanent fixture in the City.

San Francisco is looking to extend the street closures into new communities and continue them along routes in the Fisherman’s Wharf/Embarcadero area, Bayview, Mission and Outer Sunset/Great Highway neighborhoods. The City's first Sunday Streets event cost $140,000 and last year officials tried to get sponsors to cover the expenses.

The proposed dates and locations include:

March 14: Embarcadero, starting at Fisherman’s Wharf and PIER 39, south to China Basin and Terry Francois Blvd.

April 11: Along the Great Highway, coinciding with World Health Day’s “1,000 Cities, 1,000 Lives” international event, as one of thousands of cities hosting simultaneous car-free events worldwide.

April 18: Bayview, along 3rd Street from King and 4th (Caltrain Station) to Bayview Playground.
